yeah i found all of the bonus routes, but i unlocked june's after i read a hint u gave out. i think its definitely possible to find the route without hints, but i only realized her route was a thing when i saw your hint
innnteresting.
i left hints in the credits that it exists -- bonus route 2 implies the existence of a bonus route 1, and obviously there's the hint in rose's route...
do you think i should make it more obvious? like a greyed out icon or smth.

making visual novels is great if you enjoy the idea of writing a book while also having to put on a puppet show to keep the reader from killing you with their teeth

do you ever plan on releasing the custom sprites for this game for free use/to be used in memes like people do with the original pesterquest? just wondering
Someone did actually already make an edit using the juneroute sprites ashfkdgsahkjdfgskhjfads (tw low tier god meme and what that entails.)
(by @mikamugi on most non tumblr platforms askdgdsgfhjk)
but yeah!
because the game is still a work in progress, i don't want to release assets somewhere that might get changed later. BUT you've got my blessing (and most of our artists* - just make sure to credit them appropriately!!!) to rip the assets from the game and do whatever with them. im not gonna sue, not like i own the pq assets in the first place lmao. would be a huge hypocrite if i got on someone's ass for breaking into my project to make transformative fanworks out of its assets when thats literally how pqr was made LMAO
some of the assets are already online tho... early versions of dammek's sprites were made and publicized by @vumigumi for example :O
yeah!
*most as in, ive talked specifically only w a few of them on this topic, but all of the ones ive spoken with have been cool w it. use ur judgement lawl

HI I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT PQR AND AS SOMEONE WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ORIGINAL PQ AND FRIENDSIM STORY I THINK I LOVE YOUR SPIN ON IT!!! I LOVE THE GAME SM AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE!!!
i played it for 6 hours straight and im gonna get back to playing after some rest shsbjsbshs anyways keep up the good work!!!!
HI !!!!!! IM SO GLAD ASFDKJSDGJKJSDKG
it makes me so happy fans of the original enjoy this. like, on the lowkey, pqr is a *sequel* to friendsim/pq, not actually a "Rewrite." (it just structurally matches one, which is why the name, lol.) brings me life whenever people discover it!??????
and pace urself on the read!!! god knows i pace myself working on this game lmao
butttttttt. on the subject. did you know there are two bonus routes hidden in the game?
the first one's been completed and discoverable for four months... we thought we might as well reveal it today!
youtube
i hope u enjoy ;3 try and find it on ur own ingame first!!!!!!!
(route by @hydro-city-zone with sfx contributions by @dare0451 !!!!)
i'd also love to hear ur detailed thoughts abt the game!!! every bit of feedback is so extremely valuable. :33

Pesterquest Rewritten: Sollux Captor
finally complete! it's a shorter one relative to the human routes, but that's sort of by design. all of the trolls are going to have a more densely interconnected story, vs several larger standalone episodes. gonna be real fun.
if you've never played pesterquest rewritten, now's a great time as any to get into it!!!! the itch page has a playable-in-browser demo containing all the way through Jade Route, so it's really easy to give it a go. :3
and if playin it's not your speed, you can watch the youtube playlist or read the transcripts on ao3!!!!

gonna go completely insane for a second here.
was thinking about mspar. who will obviously not. appear in hsbc. bc it makes almost no thematic sense for that to happen
but like… i made a connection. that i want to talk about.
mspar in pq is defined by two things, early on
really, really, really fucking hating the direction the epilogues took the "story", and wanting to take it into their own hands to fix it.
like, the imagery about this being a Bad Thing is pretty unsubtle. in the prologue, mspar literally tramples over homestuck panels, crushing them underfoot. and by the end of pq, what they have done isnt just create a new timeline where "everyone is happy," they've overwritten homestuck to do it. theyve Literally retconned the story and replaced it with their fanon ideas of how to "fix" things. that's why ultdirk and the director have to come and tell you that it needs to stop.
there's a lot more about mspar's actions in pq being like… pretty unambiguously villain shit, in my reading, but thats a sort of separate ramble to what i wanted to be insane about (let me know if you want me to ramble about. mspar being the bad guy. another time.)
basically. mspar's design looks a hell of a lot like doc scratch. obviously. theyre both round-headed narrators.
doc scratch's textbox is literally just mspar's inverted. theyre foils, in a sense. scratch enables canon while hurting everyone to do it, and mspar enables fanon (…while hurting everyone to do it, differentways.)
and that got me thinking like. a lot of this description i just wrote
applies to another character too.
someone in the text who was introduced as a reader of the stories of the heroes, as an author of fanfiction and fanart
though, obviously meat and candy calliope are accounted for. it's not literally that mspar is calliope. besides, its not even like calliope wears a similar hooded black outfit to them, or makes a huge fucking deal about loathing the complexity of postcanon,
hey wait a minute
and theyve got a lot in common. even beyond the superficial. for example, they both just. appoint themself as the guardian of their timeline, because they have to "fix" homestuck. (whether the characters in homestuck want this or not.)
jade harley literally tells *both characters* "well, what if we don't want your protection!!!! why won't you leave us alone!" and then they just sorta ignore her wishes
and the connection keeps going. like. mspar and altcallie have both stood outside of the green sun with aradia and absorbed a canon into themself so they can rewrite it.
this extremely specific thing they have in common!!!! kinda fucked up!!!!!!
like, im not saying this because i literally think mspar is going to crack their head open and reveal altcallie a la Lord English in that intermission.
but THEMATICALLY.
they have a lot in common.
way more than i realized until literally two days ago!
like mspar is LITERALLY another narrator at least on the scale of ultdirk and doc scratch and the like and LITERALLY ALL OF THEM ARE VILLAINS shdashjfhasfhsajdhgashfkgshjdgsdfgsdhjg. there is stuff to think about.
(conspiracy brain.) and of all the outfits mspar wore in friendsim, it's specifically the black hoodie up that they got sprites for….
anyway.
obviously pesterquest and hsbc werent referencing each other because the second one did not exist yet.
but like! i think theres something there. in terms of da Themes and Motifs.
(if there are more close readings of pq, id be SUPER curious to find em :3)
#og!pq has so much material in it that's genuinely so damn good frankly. it's slept on#also this is my theory that im reblogging. main blog moment :)

Are you planning on having a de-quirk feature?
unfortunately not at this time. while i absolutely love what befriendus and friendsim 2 offer with dequirkers (go check those games out btw!!!! no fansim stands alone), the amount of work it'd take to overhaul the entire dialogue system for the game just doesnt make sense for me as (basically) a solo dev.
yeah, i have friends who help beta read, i have a small art team, but in terms of the programming and the writing of the main routes, that's entirely me. (etchjetty/@classpectpokerap.) and i dont have it in me to make the entire process of just, adding text to the game, any factor more difficult. i also write the game's script directly in quirk, which informs stuff like word choice and sentence length. adding dequirked features would probably mean having to untranslate every line as it goes in, which would make the rapid pace of development slow down a little too much for my comfort.
(i say probably because truth be told i haven't done the research on what a dequirker would require beyond looking at fs2 and befriendus's code. but it's just not really a development focus rn to overhaul the entire script of the game for the sake of features like that.)
i understand that this isn't really an adequate answer. accessibility features in gaming shouldn't be a "worry about it later" thing -- that's why the game features full compatibility with the flashing lights option in the main menu. every visual effect that could trigger a reaction has an alternative based on that selection. we even also overhauled the "history" tab to be way more visually useful, based on feedback that showed people wanted to use the page.
but adding and maintaining a dequirker would just... slow down development time too significantly for a feature that, bluntly, this anon ask is the first time i've heard anyone ask about.
the best i have to offer is that every route is also available on ao3 as a transcript upon writing completion. if you have a method of auto-dequirking available to you, you could paste in those transcripts and get a full version of the script without the quirks.
maybe once the primary game development is done i could do a second pass to add a dequirker. but for now, the answer is that it's not on the horizon.
tl;dr: there's no dequirker in the game and there likely won't be for a while if at all. apologies.
#pesterquest rewritten#accessibility#fansim#asksbox#pesterquest#pqr#i am absolutely grateful for the ask though.#feedback like this is unbelievably valuable

I was snooping around in the Pesterquest Rewritten files, mainly because I am trying to figure out how to delete save files, but also because I got curious. I found Baby,ogg. And I am not sure what I expected, but guess who got jumpscared with that song.
